An important opportunity for me

Last year, I got an voluntary job. I went to a small village located in at a mountain in Sichuan. People there are poor and children cannot get good education. My job is mainly to give dancing classes to help children foster an interest and found ('start' is a better word to use) their own association. I think it is an important opportunity for me because, firstly, I experienced a life that is totally different from living in the city. Besides that, I had a wonderful time teaching children and listening their stories. That really impressed me.
